That's how we celebrate it. Then again, we have two atheists, many devout Christians, several halfway Christians, several agnostics (of which I used to be), and a Wiccan (me) in our family. It's...hard enough. So we just give gifts and don't talk about the religious part when dissenters are around (except at my dad's parent's house).
And it's true that Christians were persecuted for quite some time all around the world. However, at some point, that turned around and the Christians became the persecuters (the witch burnings come to mind). Thankfully, religious tolerance is much more prevalent in the world, although it's still a problem in some parts of the world, especially the Middle East.

You know I actually tried to post something like this in another other forum and they close it out I was not even messing up with religion, just posting the same article in a Sailor Moon latin forum, they just said "Christians know they're doing" and they close it out
I can't even understand why... I'm so mad!! I'm so quiting that forum >=(

They're being paranoid, I'm guessing. They probably don't want to risk it turning into a posting war...

I think they're old enough to understand that I was not messing up with Christiany The main issue here was how Sailor Moon was critized by some people that (seems to me) haven't even seen the show at all I feel like I'm a walking blasphemy

i understand why they didnt wnat any religious posts, because things can get out of hand. But lets face it we have just had a 3 page convo about christianity and from what i saw there was no religion-bashing in the slightest.
this makes me happy to be a member of this forum. that we are all able to discuss sensitive subjects like adults.
also, sailor-moon is probably not a christian propaganda considering that in corinthians it clearly states that all homosexuals are going to hell and that christians should stone them to death to speed them on their way.
of course very few christians take any notice of what st paul was writting in that section lol. mainly becasue the world has moved on now. i come from a christian family and although an atheist, im not gunna condemn christians by what was acceptable thousands of years ago. lol.

LOL, what? Well you know, with the popularity of Sailor Moon, I don't blame them for doing such a thing. I mean, just how many rumors have been spread regarding the show? Too many to start listing.
As for Japan, it's not that Christianity is banned (that would be stupid) it's just that there are very few Christians there, or religious for that matter.
And Carla, I don't tolerate forums like that, no matter what they're trying to do. If something is done unfairly, I always leave. I hate it when moderators and leaders of a certain forum don't tolerate certain things that really aren't offensive (happened on this other forum I USED to go to, but I was GONE after that).
I'm glad this forum has a VERY nice webmistress and moderators. It's the only Sailor Moon forum I go to.
